In a weird sort of way, Taylor Swift seems like our best friend — she drinks too much with her friends at the weekend, she hates when people ask about her relationship status, and she's gone through a fashion phase or two (or three...) during the past decade. Who can forget the Taylor of the mid-noughties with her long blond ringlets and cowboy boots, singing about a boy named Drew and the teardrops on her guitar? A lot has changed since then.
From glittery, teeny-tiny mini dresses to thigh-high boots with Versace blazers and everything in between, here's an in-depth look at Taylor Swift's red carpet evolution over the past 13 (her lucky number, a coincidence? I think not!) years she's spent in the spotlight.
